The First Dollar

At fifty-nine, he wanted to build something of his own. The laughing faces arrived before the first customer.

Tom Woodall opens an online store for ebooks and digital products, hoping his stories might connect with readers—and bring in a little extra income.

Instead, his announcement draws ridicule. His dashboard fills with views instead of purchases. Every quiet day makes him wonder whether the critics were right.

With encouragement from his sister, Carol, Tom begins looking beyond the comments and toward the customers he hopes to reach. Clearer descriptions, better stories, and careful spending demand more from him than defending himself ever did.

But bills still arrive, confidence wavers, and no amount of determination can guarantee a sale.

The First Dollar by Mia Bills is heartfelt contemporary fiction about starting a creative business later in life, handling online criticism, and learning to measure progress without losing sight of reality.

What will it take to earn that first dollar—and keep building after it?
